Definitions

  • the invention relates to substituted pyridine compounds that are modulators of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein, useful in treating diseases and conditions mediated and modulated by CFTR.
  • CFTR Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator
  • the invention also relates to compositions containing compounds of the invention, processes for their preparation, and methods of treatment using them.
  • Cystic fibrosis is caused by a defect in genes which induce mutations in CFTR. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease in humans, and affects ⁇ 0.04% of white individuals, for example, in the United States, about one in every 2,500 infants is affected, and up to 10 million people carry a single copy of the defective gene without apparent ill effects; moreover subjects bearing a single copy of the gene exhibit increased resistance to cholera and to dehydration resulting from diarrhea. This effect might explain the relatively high frequency of the CF gene within the population.
  • cystic fibrosis patients mutations in endogenous respiratory epithelial CFTR fails to confer chloride and bicarbonate permeability to epithelial cells in lung and other tissues, thus leading to reduced apical anion secretion and disruptions of the ion and fluid transport. This decrease in anion transport causes an enhanced mucus and pathogenic agent accumulation in the lung triggering microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients. Beyond respiratory disease, CF patients also suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that result in death if left untreated. Furthermore, female subjects with cystic fibrosis suffer from decreased fertility, whilst males with cystic fibrosis are infertile.
  • CFTR activity modulation may be beneficial for other diseases not directly caused by mutations in CFTR, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye disease, and Sjögren's syndrome.
  • COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • COPD dry eye disease
  • Sjögren's syndrome a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
